The truth is         
im a relic         
        
Im good at things from a time gone by         
I exceed at things         
never shown to me         
        
Self-taught (_____)         
        
they always say         
with hole hearted delight and honesty,         
        
"your work has such a;          
pure           
raw           
gritty  
unrefined           
rough around the edges feel to it."         
        
I wasnt trying to be         
any of those things         
        
I wasnt trying to be         
cool         
        
I damn sure wasnt         
trying to sell you something         
        
I wasnt even trying         
in the sense or tense that you  
think I was         
assumed I was
   
I was and am        
being me         
        
whatever words you think fit that          
so be it         
        
I already have  
and reserve the right to continue to         
define myself
